I use LapLink Ver. 5 with a parallel connection with 0 problems, get
consistant 3 meg/min thruput, never get a hang. Ver 4 had a few minor
problems but also worked OK, but they were LL problems, not OS/2 problems. I
never used a serial connection, don't see why a serial connection wouldn't
work. Ver 2.01 of LL probably had lots of problems with any multitasking
system.
